NOTE: I am updating some of these pages while I am traveling, but do not have access to the actual recipe books (they are a bit heavy to carry along). Once I am home in early March, I will do the appropriate updating. Thanks for your understanding and patience! Listed below are 12 recipes you should try when you are cooking just for yourself or with/for one other person. You might be surprised how easy and tasty they are! A hyperlink on the listing means that I have prepared that recipe, and clicking the link will take you to the recipe, photos, comments, etc. UPDATE NEEDEDTo the right are the first three paragraphs from the HOME COOKING book where Gordon talks about what a “classic” dish used to mean, while noting that some change (a “twist”) can add excitement to your cooking.
UPDATE NEEDEDWhat are some of your favorite dishes (your “classics”) that might exude more excitement if you make a few changes to them? Don’t be afraid — try them at home for yourself before offering to friends that you invite for dinner. Be ready for some nice accolades on your “new dishes.”
